KTR Disputes Congress Claims on Telangana's Debt
Leaders are arguing about how much money Telangana borrowed.
One leader says the previous government borrowed a lot, but they used the money to build things like water projects, and the state has valuable assets.
Another leader disagrees, saying the current government is borrowing without building anything new.
They are using these facts to criticize each other.

He said this contradicted claims by CM Revanth Reddy and others that debt was higher.
Rama Rao argued BRS borrowed for infrastructure, creating assets exceeding debt.
He criticized the current government for borrowing without creating new projects.
He highlighted asset growth under BRS rule, citing financial discipline.
